Astronomers discover a new type of cosmic object: a 'black hole star' using the James Webb Space Telescope

An international team of astronomers, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), has identified a novel astrophysical object dubbed a 'black hole star.' This discovery, published in Nature, could help resolve the mystery of the 'little red dots' observed in images of the early universe. The object, which resembles an enormous star the size of our solar system, emits 100 billion times more energy than any known star, an output closer to that of a black hole.
